WHAT’S “NEWS”? IT DE
PENDS ON WHO YOU ARE
i
The housewife complains to
her Congressman about rising
food prices; business and labor
Are overstepping what the
•Government calls “guidelines.”
The President’s daughter gets
married. Civil rights marches
raise the indignation of those
marched upon. And a national
■debate about Federal regulat
ing for firearms follows a mass
.sniper shooting in Texas.
These are what you read a-
bout in the papers. They are
what is known as the “domes
tic” situation.
But while these items fill
the front pages, the war goes
on in Viet Nam. And those who
have sons and brothers fight
ing in the far-off jungles and
mountains of Southeast Asia
can’t seem to get very upset
about the rising price of eggs
■or the details of what Luci’s
bridesmaids wore. Even civil
unrest in one’s neighborhood
is secondary to the fact that
there is an empty room in
■one’s house—a room belonging
to a boy in Viet Nam.
And when his letters arrive,
all else fades into the back
ground. Like this letter, re
ceived shortly after our first
hombing raids against Hanoi:
“I am really happy that we
have finally bombed Hanoi. I
wish we hadn’t waited so long,
because now Ho has committ
ed himself to the extent that
Re won’t quit as readily as he
would have a year or two ago.
I’m afraid that now victory
can be attained only by an all
cut bombing attack on every
.kind of supply storage area
in Hanoi and Haiphong. This
action must be coupled with a
stern and sincere warning to
Red China that if she inter
feres with more tnoop anjd
supply support, we will bomb
her nuclear testing centers.
Such action would set China
back at least 10 years.
“We can no longer bluff and
beg. Now we have committed
curselves to a decisive victory
which will include North Viet
Nam’s quitting the war. This
•victory will come only when
fhey are convinced that we are
.determined to win.
“If they are convinced that
we are so determined, they
will be completely demoralized.
Rut if we should let up in our
bombing attacks to give them
a chance to negotiate, we will
•only strengthen their belief
that they can win — and they
will continue to fight until
they are all dead (which is
unlikely to happen for a long
time) or until we are bank
rupt (which could be very
soon).”
After you read a letter like
that, you look at the papers.
Somewhere after What People
Are Talking About will be the
information that an “expert”
has prerdicted that the Com
munists are interested in a
truce. An editorial will inform
SPECTATOR
Is there a place of a kicker?
What is a kicker? He is one
who sometimes expresses his
disagreement; he may be a
kicker in the home; or in the
office; or in the street. Some
times a kicker is very useful;
sometimes—in Congress for ex
ample—he is worth his weight
in gold.
Kickers,' you know, made
this nation; they rebelled ag
ainst the tea tax—and such
small things as that.
Suppose the kicker is basing
his attitude on the Constitu
tion, or the long-standing usage
or custom.
I am not at this moment a
kicker, but I rise to a point of
order, let us say.
Can the President fix wages
and prices? Is there any law,
valid, constitutional law, which
authorizes or empowers the
President to set or fix prices?
We have recently read that
the President is. displeased be
cause of the increase in the
price of steel.
Ane President so terrified
i the steel mills at few years ago
that they reduced prices. Well
has the . President the lawful
right to fix prices? Has he
any authority: to fix wages?
We hear quite a bit about the
guide-line set by the President
but, what lawful right has he
to fix wages or*, ptfees ?
The President eventually
bows to the wage leaders but
does not usually yield to the
wage-earners. What is the dif
ference?-It might be suspected
that the difference is political,
that is that a million men who
are wage earners will show
their resentment at the polls.
But the million stockholders,
the real owners of our enter
prises are not as well and mil-
itantly organized as are the
workers.
When you brush all the bom
bast to one side you will find
the main concern is votes—all
politics.

“A compromise ban on
housing discrimination surviv
ed a crucial House floor test.
By a one-vote margin, 180
to 179 the House tentatively
approved the Administration-,
backed plan of Rep. Mathias
(R.,Md.) providing an exemp
tion from the ban for home
owners and for sales agents
acting at the owner’s instruc
tions. This retreat from the
all-inclusive bias -prohibition
first proposed by. President
Johnson was deemed essential
by Administration forces to get
the legislation through the
House.
Even with .the compromise,
the ‘fair-housing’ section of
the civil rights measure is still
vulnerable to further House
floor attack. Pending before
the House, when it goes back
to work today, is a motion by
Rep. Moore (R.,W.Va.) to
scuttle the section entirely.
House Democratic leaders
think they’ve got the votes to
defeat the Moore motion, but
after yesterday’s close shave,
they aren’t breathing easily.-
Further down the road, more
over, the compromise plan must
survive a roll-call vote on which
some lawmakers who supported
it on • yesterday’s non-roll call
tally could switch to the oppo
sition.
Administraton strategists,
however, viewed yesterday’s
non-roll-call vote as their
single toughest hurdle. Their
reasoning is that Southern
Democrats and conservative
Republicans ,who oppose th e
compromise in hopes of keep
ing the bill too strong to pass,
will be obliged to vote for the
Mathias softener when their
names are recorded. ‘Most
Southerners can’t afford to go
on record for strengthening the
bill, even if it is tactically
shrewd for them to try and
makt it stronger,’ calculates
one Administration lieutenant.
About a dozen ardent liberal
Democrats joined the party’s
conservative Southern wing and
a big majority of House Rep
ublicans in resisting the com
promise. The Democratic lib
erals and a goodly number of
the Republicans who fought
Mr. Mathias yesterday are also
housing provision in its final
housing provision in ts fnal
form.
Before adopting the Mathias
plan, the House first rejected
a move by Rep. MacGregor (R.
Minn.), tobroaden the prohibi
tion on housing bias by bring
ing homeowners under its cov
erage. Also rejected was an
amendment by Rep. McClory
(R., lil.) that would give state
fair housing laws more time
to work before the Federal
ban could be enforced.
Numerous further attempts
to modify the measure are
likely today, assuming Mr.
Moore’s pending move to kill
it is defeated. The thrashing
over this, the most embattled
section of the Johnson Admin
istration’s six-part civil rights
bill, is likely to delay final
House pasage of the legisla
tive package until Friday at
the earliest.”
One vote! Read that again.
Recently Spectator lifted
from some source an article on
one vote as the decisive factor.
Several very eminent citizens
wrote me about that including
an outstanding editor.
So you see!
Suppose you were pitching a
game of ball and the score was
two to two, with two men out
and three men on base, and
this was the last out in the
ninth inning. If the pitcher can
throw just the right ball for
a pop up to the pitcher or short
stop—well, well. But if he
throws the wrong ball and it
sails over the centerfield
fence! Now, now. A real Cala-
midad, as my Spanish friends
would say. Que calamidad!
What a calamity! Now the dif
ference may be one ball!

We may not understand the
military phases of the so-called

Well, I don’t.
Another thing: we and other
